Inscape holidays 2008

Writing can be a way of being consciously
here in this world, exploring our place - or home - in it in all sorts of ways.
Good writing conveys a strong sense of place as locality and environment, but
will also place the writer in relationship to her world.

Writing a way home will be a chance
to share a creative journey with a small group of women in one of the places
where I live and write and feel at home.
I invite you to share it with me for a week, as we share our love of writing
and our sense of place.

We can use all aspects of the varied
and beautiful, though rapidly ‘developing,’ environment to stimulate
our writing: the ancient and the modern, the elemental and the cultural, the
beautiful and the brash. All can be mirrors of the wider and the inner worlds.
As writers we weave lifelines between them, finding patterns of meaning that
make whole. We will visit some powerful places and use some movement and meditations,
including walking a Cretan labyrinth, to deepen our awareness.
